Chapter 33

Fight


Pinagmasdan ko ang mga kaibigan ko habang nagkakasiyahan sila sa hapag. They all look happy in their life. I hope those smile on their faces won't disappear. I hope it will just stay there forever.


My, Dy... you may not be here but thank you... thank you for bringing these people to me. Thank you for making sure that I'm not alone.


Pagkatapos naming mag-celebrate ay agad din silang umalis. Sila Daen at Grey ay bumalik ng Canada para makapaghanda sa college nila. Sila Levi naman ay bumalik ng Metropolis dahil may graduation pa sila next week.


I am wearing a spaghetti strap velvet dress that hugs my body tight as I entered the room gracefully. Sa tabi ko ay si Ate Blair na sinamahan ako makipagkita sa aming private investigator sa kanyang office.


A man who I think is in his 40s welcomed us. He is Mr. Dequina, he's our trusted family investigator who's working under our company for god-knows-how-many years.


Naglapag ito ng brown envelope sa kanyang table nang komportable kaming makaupo.


"Is that what I'm asking you to look for?" I arch a brow. Mr. nodded at me.


"Yes, Ma'am. That's all I've found out under his name."


Kinuha ko iyong envelope at tinignan ang laman. My eyes narrowed as I scanned the pictures and some documents. Kamukhang-kamukha ni Levi ang lalaking ito.


"We did background research about the man in the photo. His name is Marcus Lyre Ramos, a 30 year old man, who's currently single. Nakapagpatayo siya ng sarili niyang restaurant but I think that's his only side job. We haven't found out what's his real job yet."


Ilang araw pagkatapos ng celebration namin ng graduation ko ay pumunta ako dito sa office ni Mr. Dequina para sa update. I have been contacting him since last month to investigate and look for Levi's brother. I busied myself on this and made it as one of my distractions.


"Where is he now?"


"Dito, sa Taguig."


I nodded. Mr. Dequina gave me the exact address of Levi's brother's restaurant. Hmm... What a small world.


I want to help Levi so I asked our investigator. Ngayon nahanap na namin siya ay sasabihin ko sa kanya iyon mamaya.


Pagtapos namin dito ay agad akong ba-byahe patungo sa Metropolis para maabutan ko ang graduation nila. This is my graduation give to him. I hope he will be happy when I'll say I already found her brother.


"When will you introduce Levi to our family?"


I pursed my lips at the sudden question of Ate Blair. I looked at the window of the car as we pass by tall establishments to avoid answering her question. Ayokong mapunta sa usapin na iyon.
